[quote=Anonymous]We don't volunteer to help with stuff during the school day. Kids are 5 and 10 and I think DH did a single volunteer session when DS10 was in 1st grade. We don't volunteer to be room parents, go on field trips, etc. And OMG parent teacher conferences are annoying - school is closed the whole day but we can't bring the kids to school for the conference. Why can't the school have the gym open for parents to drop kids during conferences or something else that makes sense for working families? DH and I have fairly flexible jobs, but very full days. We've worked it so that at least one of us is home everyday, which means we don't need before or after care. We also have kids that need minimal oversight after school. DS5 doesn't get home from school until after 4pm and I can usually stop of the day by then. We know we're lucky and that it may not last. [/quote]
